Yohanes 20:26-27

20:26 Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house, ¹  and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, ²  Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put ³  your finger here, and examine ⁴  my hands. Extend ⁵  your hand and put it ⁶  into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.” ⁷ 

[20:26]  ¹ tn Grk “were inside”; the word “together” is implied.

[20:26]  ² tn Grk “the doors were shut”; “locked” conveys a more appropriate idea for the modern English reader.

[20:26]  sn See the note on the phrase locked the doors in 20:19.

[20:27]  ³ tn Or “Extend” or “Reach out.” The translation “put” or “reach out” for φέρω (ferw) here is given in BDAG 1052 s.v. 4.

[20:27]  ⁴ tn Grk “see.” The Greek verb ἴδε (ide) is often used like its cognate ἰδού (idou) in Hellenistic Greek (which is “used to emphasize the …importance of someth.” [BDAG 468 s.v. ἰδού 1.b.ε]).

[20:27]  ⁵ tn Or “reach out” or “put.”

[20:27]  ⁶ tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[20:27]  ⁷ tn Grk “and do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
